The dictator Hasan Piker wore to a Democrat convention — and the tip screen America is finally revolting against | Wake Up America Hasan Piker put on Mao Zedong's uniform this weekend and a room full of College Democrats cheered. So today we tell you what that costume actually means: the largest famine in human history, the war on sparrows, the trap called "let a hundred flowers bloom," and the Red Guards who beat Xi Jinping's own father in a stadium. Plus — America is in open revolt against the guilt-trip tip screen, and the real history of tipping is more American than you think. Then: Camellia Peterson (Americans for Prosperity–Missouri) on the Missouri Republicans who killed school choice the second it hit their own backyard, and Tom Pappert (The Tennessee Star) on JD Vance declaring war on Milton Friedman — and squaring off with Marco Rubio for 2028. ⏱️ SEGMENTS 00:00 Cold open A1 — The war on the tip screen A2 — The dictator they cheered: the crimes of Mao B1 — Camellia Peterson: Missouri's school-choice collapse B2 — Tom Pappert: Vance vs. Friedman, Vance vs. Rubio 🎙️ GUESTS: Camellia Peterson (@RareCamellia) · Tom Pappert (@TomPappert) 👇 Sound off in the comments: where's YOUR line on the tip screen — and why is a Mao costume still a punchline? #WakeUpAmerica #Mao #HasanPiker #Tipflation #NoTaxOnTips #SchoolChoice #JDVance #MiltonFriedman #Liberty #Rumble
